The camera flashed by.

When the lights dimmed and the host called out the name of another nominated actress, Xiang Wanning's smile faded, she withdrew her hand, and wiped it on her skirt: "It's so dirty!"

"If it wasn't for the camera, who would touch you?" Xiang Wan Ning did not hide her maliciousness. She sneered, "It smells like cheap perfume. Is Chen Yanli blind to be attracted to a piece of trash like you!"

[It’s the No Man’s Land Rose! I love the smell of this! ]

[I didn’t wear perfume today, I’ll secretly rub against her later, hehe]

Xiang Zhinian: ...

She looked at Wan Ning with a complicated expression and said nothing.

Ever since he was able to hear Xiang Wanning's inner voice, the anger that was easily provoked by her in the past and the desire for revenge disappeared in an instant.

Xiang Zhinian felt that the other party was like a naughty kitten.

He does things that make people hate him, with a look of jealousy on his face, and spits out vicious curses from his poisonous lips, but he keeps saying sweet words in his heart, and his eyes are shining with joy and admiration.

The most important thing is that Xiang Wanning had no intention of hurting her. Even though she did things out of jealousy, they did not hurt herself at all. Instead, they allowed her to gain benefits many times, and then let Xiang Wanning get the result she deserved.

When the gap in strength between the two sides was too big, the opponent's behavior was like a kitten baring its fangs and claws to scratch her, but ended up breaking its claws. On the one hand, she was making harsh words and decided to fight her to the death, while on the other hand, she was drenched by the heavy rain.

Miserable.

What could Xiang Wanning do? She just hired some online trolls to scold her, or wore the same clothes to attract more attention. Xiang Wanning even knew that she was Alice. If she hadn't been paying attention to her and secretly investigating her, how would she know this? She must like him very much! Xiang Zhinian had only one thought in his mind: She is indeed suitable for acting. If he couldn't hear her voice now, he would have been fooled by her.

Xiang Zhinian raised the white flag in her heart and thought for a moment: since she likes her starry dress so much, why not find a reason to give it to her!

Xiang Wanning, who had no idea that Xiang Zhinian had already conquered herself, was thinking diligently about the next plot:

[I’m about to be called, let me see… I’ll occupy the camera and give Chinen a provocative smile]

[Isn't it too hard to be a vicious villain? I feel like my face is going to cramp]

[When I go on stage to receive the award for Chinen, I have to say in despair, "I don't believe it", "There must be something fishy going on with the program team", and then burst into tears and faint from despair... Oh, it's so difficult. I didn't even bring eye drops. It's too hard to cry in such a short time.]

After sorting out the following plot, Xiang Wanning felt a little nervous when she found that she had to complete operations such as "provoking", "crying", and "fainting" in a short period of time.

[Time is tight, the task is heavy, it’s my turn! ]

"Of course there is also the actor who played Qiu Shuang in the drama "An Xiang", Xiang Wan Ning!" As the host's voice fell, the lights of the program team shone on Xiang Wan Ning.

Just when everything was going as Xiang Wanning had imagined, the host, perhaps to defend Xiang Zhinian, or simply because she couldn't stand Xiang Wanning, asked an extra question: "Haha, is this your first time here? Is there anything you want to say to everyone?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience fell silent.

It was obviously the host's veiled words, mocking her for only coming here once after all these years in the industry, and that her other works were not eligible to enter. The subtext of the sentence "What do you want to say?" was "Say what you want to say quickly, because you may not be able to come next time."

But Xiang Wanning didn't understand. Not only that, the smile on her face froze.

Xiang Wanning's heart started beating wildly when the plot didn't go as she expected, and she didn't get the feedback she expected. It was like playing a game. She had a guide in her pocket, but the game had a bug and didn't develop according to her expectations. How could she not panic? What's more, she was not good at improvisation.

[Ah? This scene is not in the script! Why did you add it yourself?]

【Fortunately I don’t have a microphone】

The next second, the person next to him handed over the microphone.

Xiang Wanning: ...

Her face was calm and her smile was gentle, but in her heart she was howling: [Ahhh, don’t give it to me! ]

But the person next to him said, "Here, I give you the microphone, otherwise no one else can hear you."

Thank you. Thank you so much.

[I think about it. If I don’t take the role, my image will be ruined. After all, I have the camera time and the popularity to take advantage of. But if I take the role, how can I avoid ruining my image? ]

[Although I will be embarrassed later, I can't think of the lines. What should I say now? Can I check Baidu now? ]

[I figured it out. Provoking others will never go wrong. "Nothing to say. After all, I will definitely win the Best Actress Award." "Ah, I am so embarrassed to receive an award for my first time at the event." Which of these two is better? It's arrogant and domineering, right? It won't ruin your character, right?]

After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Wanning made up her mind. She took the microphone with a faint smile and was about to speak when a head came over and answered for her:

"She's very excited, but she's a little shy because it's her first time here. Let her talk about her ideas next time."

After finishing speaking, Xiang Zhinian snatched the microphone from her hand and handed it to others with a gentle smile.

Xiang Wanning: ...

[Wait, no, why don't you follow the script! ]

[No, no, this shouldn't be the case! How could you help me out? Don't you hate me?]

[It's over. Will it affect my next plot? I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.]

Xiang Wanning lowered her head to look at Xiang Zhinian, who was leaning against her arms and had not yet stood up. Just as she was about to speak, she met her smiling gaze, as if she was expecting her to say something.

All those vicious words were stuck in her throat. Xiang Wan Ning swallowed them down and tried to speak again. Then she suddenly felt that the heroine was really pretty.

Xiang Wanning: ...

「S-Stop staring at me. I’m a little embarrassed……」

[No, I still have to say a few lines]

Xiang Wanning thought for a while and reached out to cover her eyes.

Now that she was finally able to speak, she coughed twice and said, "Don't think I'll be nice to you just because you said a few words for me. I want you to stand out for me? Are you annoying me?"

With his eyes covered, Xiang Zhinian chuckled softly.

[No, why are you laughing? Not cruel enough? ]

Xiang Wanning continued: "I really hate people like you who make their own decisions. Do you want others to think that we have a good relationship? Are you trying to take advantage of my popularity?"

Xiang Zhinian's laughter grew louder.

[Huh? I'm scolding you, what's so funny? ]

The people around couldn't stand it anymore, turned their heads around in confusion, and asked tentatively: "Are you flirting?"

The person in the back seat clapped his hands and applauded: "I'm a little disappointed with you two. It seems that the rumors about you two being mortal enemies cannot be believed."

Xiang Wanning: ...

She reached out to pull Xiang Zhinian up, and then fiercely refuted their words, but unexpectedly, the next second, the lights on the stage suddenly focused on them.

The host was reading the award speech: "The winner of this year's Best Actress is Xiang Zhinian! Let us congratulate her... eh?"

Everyone in the audience looked at her. Xiang Wanning was unable to open her eyes due to the fierce gazes of the crowd and the dazzling lights of the stage. Her heart was beating wildly, and she was pale and sweating profusely.

With various emotions in mind, such as "It's over, the plot is not going in the right direction, will my mission fail?", "Why is it all because of me that I have social phobia?", "Something seems to be wrong with my body", Xiang Wanning felt that her eyes were getting dark, and she could hear the congratulations and kind laughter of many people, seemingly near and far, in her ears.

"Congratulations to Chin Nian for winning the award! Oh, those marketing accounts said that you two are a cinnabar mole and a white moonlight, and the fans were arguing about it, who knew that you two have such a good relationship!"

"Hurry up and get up from Wan Ning. It's time for you to go on stage and give your acceptance speech."

"Eh? Wan Ning's lips moved. Did she want to say something?"

Xiang Wanning endured the discomfort and muttered, "There is something fishy going on with the program crew." Because her voice was too soft, no one could hear her, so the people around her automatically translated her words into congratulations to Xiang Zhinian for winning the award.

"Haha, look at Wan Ning, she's so excited that she can't speak. She looks even happier than when she won the award!"

Xiang Wanning: ...

[No... didn't you guys continue to scold me before?]

[Why... don't you continue to scold me... did you ask you to do reading comprehension?]

Xiang Wanning felt Xiang Zhinian leaving, and waved her hand forward, trying to save the situation, but her hand was held by the person next to her.

"Don't grab her. Sister Chinen has gone on stage. She will be back soon. Let her hold your hand then!"

"No. No." Xiang Wanning struggled, "I don't believe it..."

"You can't believe it either, right? Me too. I was so excited to hear that Sister Chinen won an award! Sister Chinen is my idol!" The man said excitedly, and seemed to remember that he had mocked Xiang Wanning before. He immediately knelt down with her and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before. I thought you and Sister Chinen didn't have a good relationship! How can your relationship be called riding on the popularity? It's clearly a deep sisterly love!"

"No, I don't have a good relationship with her..."

"Oh, I understand. Don't explain. Everyone saw what happened just now!"

Xiang Wanning felt the situation getting worse and worse. She felt her eyes getting hot and she started crying out of anger.

She started to speak without thinking: "Aren't you going to scold me? I'm actually quite vicious."

Xiang Zhinian was giving a speech of thanks on the stage. Her voice drowned out Xiang Wanning's soft humming. The people nearby glanced at her and saw that Xiang Wanning's eyes were red and she was crying with tears. She was so moved that she cried! "Oh my God!" The person exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "You two have such a good relationship!"

Xiang Wanning: ...

The only words that flashed through her mind were "a group of traitors". When she heard this, she was so angry that her eyes turned black and she fainted.
